Aloo Saag

Indian food is one of my favorites, especially saag,(spinach), dishes.


2 large potatoes, peeled
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cardamon cloves
6 black peppercorns
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 inch fresh ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp water
16oz spinach

Cut the potatoes and soak in a bowl of water. Heat oil in pan, then add in cardamom seeds and crushed peppercorns. Saute for 3 minutes. Chop ginger into slivers, onion into strips and crush the garlic. Add in garlic, onion, chili and ginger, and cook another 4 minutes.

Stir in curry and coriander. Add the potato pieces at this point, blending them thoroughly. Add in 2 Tbsp of the water plus the spinach and simmer 20 minutes.

This is usually served with rice and some yummy Indian bread.
